stripes less prominent. ^/Ww/w"- with six ocelli, forming a regular but interrupted series, two 

 at apical angle, and two on median interspaces of nearly equal size, and two smaller, unequal 

 and confluent at the anal angle; all these ocelli have a single small plumbageous pupil." 

 (Ihitler, I.e.) 



Tlie habitat given for Y. ordi/iaia, " Bengal," which may mean anything from Kashmir 

 to Orissa, is too vague to afford any clue as to its affinities. In Butler's figure of }'. ordinata 

 the underside is indistinguishable from our figure of Y. avanla, Plate XVII, fig. 66 (errone- 

 ously named K otdiiiata on the plate), except that in Butler's figure the cell of the forewing 

 is shorter, the disco-cellulars less oblique and defined by a brown litura ; the figure of the 

 upperside has the ocellus of the f(»rewing much more prominent, with distinct yellow iris, and 

 on the hindwing there is a third anal ocellus in a line with the other two. 



The ocelli on the underside of the hindwing are prominent, and arranged precisely as in Y. 

 avanta, but on the upperside the presence of the third ocellus on the hindwing is the character 

 which apparently should distinguish it. We have a single specimen taken in the Sikkim 

 tarai in July, in which this third ocellus is minutely present, and which should be Y. ordinata, 

 but it is indistinguishable from some specimens of Y. avanta in which the ocelli of the 

 underside are large.
